Just in case you haven’t played it elsewhere.

Update: We reported below that Final Fantasy III will work with Vita. However, a Sony representative reached out to us to let us know that this is incorrect, and that they are in the process of asking Square Enix if Final Fantasy III on PSP will work with Vita.

The original story is below.

In the west, the PSP is all but dead, but in Japan it’s still thriving. As such, the announcement of Final Fantasy III coming to PSP this past June wasn’t a huge surprise. What is surprising, however, is that it’s making its way west.

Sony has confirmed that Final Fantasy III will come to PSP in North America, but only via the PlayStation Network. Its release timing in other territories is unknown. It’s essentially the same, reworked version of the game you may have already experienced on either Nintendo DS or iOS, or perhaps even both.

Final Fantasy III is not to be confused with Final Fantasy VI, which was initially known as Final Fantasy III when released on the SNES. Final Fantasy III was the last of the main Final Fantasy games to come to the west when it was released in 2006 on Nintendo DS.
